Araqila, SaffronStays
“Some places don’t announce themselves. They let the land speak first. The stones remember more than we do,” says Devendra Parulekar, Founder, SaffronStays
With Araqila, SaffronStays unveils a bold new chapter, a modern-day fortress retreat nestled in the cultural heartland of Aravali, Sindhudurg. Just 45 minutes from Goa’s MOPA airport, Araqila rises gently from the untouched Konkan coastline. It does not demand attention, it commands presence, quietly, through its salt-swept air, ancient stones, and deep-rooted memory.
Marking SaffronStays’ foray into the boutique retreat space, Araqila reintroduces Sindhudurg to the discerning traveller not as a pitstop, but as a destination rich in soul, silence, and story.
Born not from fantasy, but from familiarity, Araqila is shaped by a family with ancestral ties to the region. Spread across 55 acres of pristine coastal estate, the retreat follows the natural slope of the earth, echoing the legacy of timeless Konkan forts. No televisions. No distractions. Just the sea, the wind, and the stillness of the land asking you to listen.
The name ‘Araqila’ — a fusion of ‘Ara’ (Arawali) and ‘Qila’ (fort) — reflects its spirit: a sanctuary that protects without isolating. Within, 25 sea-facing suites offer pared-back luxury — winding walkways, meditative minimalism, and design rooted in restraint. An open-air amphitheatre and a secluded stretch of beach continue this rhythm of quiet grandeur, blending into the natural landscape without interruption.
Here, food speaks the local language fresh catch, Malvani masalas, and ingredients that haven’t crossed highways. The retreat sustains what the land offers, and gives back in return. Built with a low ecological footprint, Araqila supports native plantations and works closely with local farmers and fisherfolk, ensuring that every experience is rooted in reciprocity.
Araqila isn’t just a stay, it’s a slow, sacred return. For birthdays, anniversaries, or new beginnings, gifting this curated experience becomes a gesture of deep love for people who value meaning over material, memories over things.
“Araqila is a much-needed escape from the velocity of everyday life. I come from this region, and it has always puzzled me, why has Sindhudurg, with all its beauty and depth, remained overlooked? This is my honest attempt to change that. Araqila is not just a retreat, it’s a contemporary sea fort, perhaps what the naval visionaries of the Maratha Swaraj would have imagined for our times. It’s time the world saw Sindhudurg not as a secret, but as a story worth sharing,” adds Parulekar.
With Araqila, SaffronStays continues its mission of crafting deeply rooted, quietly luxurious stays, the kind that feel like they’ve always belonged to the land. It invites travellers not just to visit, but to truly return. To see with new eyes. And to stay, not for distraction, but for depth.
